This is correct.

No. That's it.

Nope. They know about behaviors and preserve any affected nodes.

It may be that your application is not using the current loader. Make sure you
are linking with the R15.4g loader. You can download it from:

   ftp://ftp.multigen.com/pub/Performer_Loader_R154g.tardist

The first loader to support behaviors is the R15.2d loader.
